Taking the plunge! I'm ready to start re-building my coils....I think

[ashabrown]

I love my Aro and evod tanks (I use carto tanks too) and we're short on cash right now while I search for a new day job, so I figured now is a good time to start learning how to rebuild the coils I use in my Aros/evods. I tend to buy the 1.8 or 2.2 ohm basic coils from kanger, havent tried the new dual coils yet but plan to splurge on an Aerotank once I find new employment.

Can anyone direct me to good videos or posts that give me a "how to" on rebuilding my coils? I'm really new to all of this and have no idea what I'm doing!

I was using a bunch of clearomizers when I decided to switch. I got an RTA and started practicing while still using my clearomizers. Eventually, I started getting more RTAs.

Also, an RDA for dripping/practicing...

Good luck.

what is an RTA and what is an RDA?

 

[DreamWithin]

RTA = Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (a Kayfun, for example)
RDA = Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer

You can find all things rebuildable here and see examples of what's what: Rebuildable Atomizer Systems

Moved thread from Cartomizers forum to Clearomizers forum.

This is where you'll find discussion of rebuilding clearomizer heads. I'm sure you'll get some responses here from others who rebuild their heads

Thanks. Im not looking to buy any new products, I'd just like to learn how to rebuild these types of heads!

Do a google search for "kanger coil rebuild" and it pulls up a few u-tube videos.

Here's the best place to get your wire. Resistance Wire shipping is free.

Many people (including me) use cotton for the wick. Some use cotton balls, some use Koh Gen Do Japanese cotton and some, like me, use cotton cooking twine (BBY). I like it because it's so easy to thread into the coil using a bead needle (Hobby Lobby).

I use 30g. 10 (contact) wraps around a 1/16th bit gives me 1.8-2.0 ohms.

Do you have an ohm meter? Start there. They are easy to build, but you really need some way to check resistance, and maybe more importantly make sure you don't create a short.

Then look at the protank microcoil thread. Plenty of info there.
